Analysis of the current situation of snow removal vehicles

From the domestic and foreign point of view, there are many ways of snow removal, such as: mechanical snow removal, snow melting snow removal, comprehensive snow removal and so on. As the name suggests, mechanical snow removal is a method of removing snow through mechanical equipment; snow melting and snow removal is a method of melting snow by using thermal energy or spraying chemicals; comprehensive snow removal is a snow removal method that combines mechanical snow removal and snow melting snow removal. These three methods of snow removal have their own characteristics. Mechanical snow removal is the most widely used. The reason is that it has high snow removal efficiency, low cost and no pollution, but it has poor snow removal effect on icy roads and low-grade roads. Mainly used for snow removal at airports, highways and main streets. Snow-melting and snow-removing methods are costly, and are easy to cause pollution and corrosion to the environment and road surfaces, and are generally less used. Mainly used for local snow removal such as icy roads and slopes. It can be seen that the expansion of mechanical snow removal, the development and promotion of snow removal vehicles are the main directions of snow removal.

Snow removal vehicles have been produced by many foreign manufacturers, such as: MARCEL BOSCHUNG in Switzerland and S&S in the United States; VOLKSWAGEN and DAIMLER-BE in Germany; SCHMIDT in the United Kingdom. Although some of these snow removal vehicles are also used in my country, these snow removal vehicles have complex structures, high prices, high use and maintenance costs, and are difficult to promote and popularize. For this reason, it is very necessary to develop snow removal vehicles suitable for national conditions.
